Jiang Yuqing smiled at Xiao Lin: "Uncle, give me the phone, I'll talk to him."

Seeing his friendly smile, Xiao Lin handed him the phone.

Jiang Yuqing held the phone to her ear and said, "It's me."

When Xiao Xin heard his voice, her mind went blank.

He hurriedly hung up the phone, put on his pajamas and slippers, and went out the door.

Xiao Xin drove to the hospital, wiping away tears as he walked, ignoring the strange looks he received from others.

He pushed open the door to the ward and, sure enough, saw Jiang Yuqing standing by the window.

Hearing the door open, Jiang Yuqing turned around and smiled at Xiao Xin standing in the doorway: "You're here?"

Xiao Xin raised his fist and walked towards Jiang Yuqing, but before his fist could hit Jiang Yuqing's face, he was grabbed by the arms by the two bodyguards next to him.

Xiao Xin struggled fiercely, her eyes red, glaring angrily at the person in front of her.

Xiao Lin, watching anxiously from the side, asked, "Xiao Xin, you..."

"Dad!" Xiao Xin turned around and called to him, "You stay here quietly for now."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yuqing and said, "If you have the guts, go outside and talk."

His arms were being held back by two bodyguards, preventing him from moving freely.

Jiang Yuqing slowly walked up to him, her eyes glancing at the open collar of his pajamas.

Xiao Xin's fair neck was covered with ambiguous marks, which were unusually eye-catching.

Jiang Yuqing raised her hand to straighten his collar, then looked up into Xiao Xin's eyes: "Are you trying to provoke me by coming to see me like this?"

Xiao Xin struggled for a long time and was exhausted. He looked at Jiang Yuqing and said, "It's not worth it to argue with you. Tell them to let me go."

Jiang Yuqing withdrew her hand and gave the bodyguard next to her a look.

The bodyguards realized what was happening and released Xiao Xin.

Xiao Xin flexed his wrists, then pulled Jiang Yuqing out of the corridor.

He slammed Jiang Yuqing against the wall and warned him, "If you have a problem, come at me. Don't touch my dad."

Jiang Yuqing suddenly laughed, glancing at his collar: "Sorry, I'm not interested in toys that other people have used."

Xiao Xin: "...Then what the hell do you mean by playing this game?"

The Jiang family is large and powerful; Jiang Yuqing could have any kind of person he wanted, so why did he have to target him?

Jiang Yuqing leaned against the wall and stood up straight. She took a step in front of him, looked at Xiao Xin and said, "Go ahead and play if you want. I just love watching people struggle to the death, but they can't do anything about it."

He paused for a moment, then added with a smile, "Back then, He Yunzhou was just like you are now, wanting to kill me, but unable to..."

Xiao Xin was unable to express his feelings in words. Why hadn't this person been admitted to a mental hospital yet?

Seeing the anger in his eyes, Jiang Yuqing continued, "But getting back to the point, how have you considered that matter from last time?"

Xiao Xin: "I haven't considered it."

"Okay, that's tough enough."

Jiang Yuqing stopped laughing, turned her back to Xiao Xin, and said, "I believe you won't say that in a couple of days."

After Xiao Xin and the others walked away, he sat down on the chair behind him, his legs feeling weak.

He shrugged his numb legs before bracing himself and walking toward the ward.

Seeing his exhausted face, Xiao Lin asked with concern, "Xiao Xin, are you alright? You look so tired."

Xiao Xin walked to the bedside, picked up a chair, and sat down.

He deliberately pulled his collar up to his neck, but Xiao Lin still saw it.

"Don't cover it up, I can see everything," Xiao Lin said.

Xiao Xin didn't bother to cover up; his pajamas were too thin, and once he calmed down, his whole body felt cold.

Xiao Lin handed him a cotton-padded jacket. "Put this on."

Xiao Xin took it and quickly put it on. The room was heated, and the chill on her body was dispelled in no time.

"Who was that person just now? What's going on?" Xiao Lin asked.

Xiao Xin glanced at him: "They didn't do anything to you, did they?"

Xiao Lin: "I'm fine, but Xiao Xin, what happened to you? That man's bodyguard was pulling you away, and that's when I realized something was wrong. Is it related to those loan sharks?"

Xiao Xin shook his head, "No, he's just a lunatic..."

He glanced at Xiao Lin with concern and changed the subject: "Dad, how have you been lately?"

Xiao Xin looked at her legs and said, "I'm doing okay lately. I'm sorry, Xiao Xin, Dad has been a burden to you..."

He always knew that Xiao Xin was paying off his debts on his own and also helping him pay his medical bills.

Xiao Xin patted his shoulder, "What are you saying, Dad? You're my dad, don't talk about being a burden..."

“But Xiao Xin,” Xiao Lin suddenly looked up at him, “the doctor said there’s a possibility my leg might regain feeling, I think…”

"Who told you that?" Xiao Xin asked, looking incredulous.

Xiao Lin's leg has been like this for almost ten years. Although medical technology is advanced now, Xiao Xin still feels uneasy and has an expression as if Xiao Lin has been scammed.

Xiao Lin lowered his head somewhat embarrassed by the question: "It was you, your Uncle Fu, who said that..."

Xiao Xin was furious when he heard this. He jumped up from his seat and shouted, "Dad, you're still associating with him?!"

Xiao Lin immediately denied it, "No, I didn't contact him first, it was..."

Xiao Xin slapped his forehead. "Okay, I get it. That old guy is definitely interested in you."

No wonder they let him and Fu Yan off the hook.

Given Fu Qingting's previous temper, he would definitely have sent someone to arrest Fu Yan and bring him back.

Now that he is Xiao Lin's son, Fu Qingting feels at ease entrusting his son to him.

Seeing that he was speechless with anger, Xiao Lin tried to start a conversation: "Xiao Xin, I heard that you and Fu Yan..."

Xiao Xin interrupted him: "Where did you hear that?"

Xiao Lin asked tentatively, "Isn't that right?"

Xiao Xin looked helpless. "Why is it that every time I talk to you about that old guy, you change the subject to me..."
